Hello,

do i understand properly, that /vz/private/VMID is the folder that cant be editted while VM is running and /vz/root/VMID is only temporary folder (full mirror) with same size while VM is running?

After VM stop, /vz/root is deleted from disk (its alot of writing?)

So to host 1TB of customer data, we need to have 2TB + HDDs?

Thank you

--
PS: if i want to move VPSs data to another partition (example /home/vps) i need to symlink /vz/root , not /vz/private , right?

when you start ct openvz mounts bind /vz/private/CTID to /vz/root/CTID

if you want backup, move you have to do so with /vz/private/CTID

p.s. I repeat- read wiki, documentation, forum to find answers to such simple questions. don't spam forum.

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=vz%2Froot+vs+vz%2Fprivate

First link or one of the first few should answer all that for you.

Same if you don't know what a bind mount is and need specifics:

Please take this as a constructive criticism. You're wasting your own time by posting questions and waiting hours or days for answers that members don't want to needlesly repeat, while you could have found an answer yourself in a matter of seconds.
